I think that it is harder to describe the two slits Young experiment in terms of hamiltonian because the particle has a constraint: to pass through the slits. is it possible?
thanks.

How do you describe it without Hamiltonian?
 
my question is about the constrained hamiltonian if it is used. i do not says it does not exist. we may have H=0 with constrained hamiltonians so problems raise.
more generally can we use the feynman paths when the paths are constrained to live on a given surface (say a 4 sphere)

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
